[PvP Undermined Update] Is Every Other Class' Burst Suddenly Overwhelming?

This patch has updated many classes massively, except warlocks and shadow priests.

I just had a few PvP matches and everyone’s damage seems to shoot off the scale and have massive bursts, especially hunters and paladins. Even death knights and shamans are much harder to kill.

Is it just me, or warlocks suddenly feel much squishier this patch?

I’m frustrated that they broke demonic gateway and that all of the dot buffs that went to affliction did not apply to pvp

Bloodstones also feels like a missed opportunity to make affliction feel like a truly DoT-based rot spec since it’s only usable once during combat. While they’re pretty nice in Battlegrounds for your team, I wouldn’t recommend giving up the survivability with Demonic Healthstones x 3 in Arena.

I was going to say - I feel much more squishier and while Bloodstone is nice, it’s HEAVILY gimped by it’s single use in combat. Makes it basically worthless in arenas where burst is insanely high.
